## Use Cases: What Can You Build?

The beauty of echokit_pty is that it turns Claude Code into a *platform*. Here's what you can build:

### Voice-Controlled Coding
Speak commands, Claude Code executes, hear results. Perfect for hands-free workflows. This is what EchoKit + echokit_pty enables.

**Why echokit_pty for voice control?** While Claude Code's Remote Control works great for mobile/web access, it doesn't support voice interfaces or custom hardware. echokit_pty's open API lets you build exactly the voice experience you need—whether that's a custom device, specialized voice commands, or integration with other speech services.

But it's just one implementation. For more details, check out EchoKit's full integration [documentation](https://echokit.dev/docs/use-cases/claude-code).

### Web Apps
Build a web interface for Claude Code. No terminal required. Just open a browser, connect to the WebSocket, and start coding. Great for presentations, teaching, or developers who prefer GUIs.

### Mobile Apps
Control Claude Code from your phone. Run tests while walking. Check build status from the couch. Deploy from anywhere. Your coding environment fits in your pocket.

### Pair Programming Platforms
Create a web app where multiple people can interact with Claude Code simultaneously. Real-time collaboration, shared context, better than screen sharing.

### Teaching & Demos
Show Claude Code in presentations without terminal windows cluttering the screen. A clean web interface for live coding demos, tutorials, and workshops.

### Custom Developer Tools
Build your own tools on top of Claude Code. Automations, dashboards, integrations—anything you can imagine. The WebSocket interface makes Claude Code a building block.

### IDE Integrations
Embed Claude Code directly into your IDE. VS Code extension, JetBrains plugin, custom editor—give Claude Code a proper home in your development environment.

**They're complementary, not competing.** Remote Control is perfect for individual developers who want mobile access. echokit_pty is for builders who want to create entirely new experiences on top of Claude Code.

## The Vision

Claude Code is the most capable AI coding assistant today. With Remote Control, it can now follow you beyond the terminal. But that's just the beginning.
